Recently, we have been seeing weddings inspired by movies with elements of fantasy. We have had the pleasure to decorate a few such weddings ourselves! There was Pink and Ivan who celebrated their nuptials with a 'Midsummer Night's Dream' twist, and later threw a dinner reception inspired by 'Moulin Rouge'. From flowers to decor and the couple's outfits, no stone was left unturned! You absolutely can pull off any theme or concept you like; just be true to your personality and everything will fall into place. There are so many ways to interpret a concept that you never have to worry about sharing the same theme as another wedding.
Our couple Benjamin and Clarine held their wedding reception at The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur not too long ago, and to our delight, decided to do it up a couple of themes for their very special evening. Thank you so much for sharing your big day with us, we were very excited to bring to life your vision of 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Avatar', Benjamin-and-Clarine style!
We have some amazing photographs of the beautiful evening - a million thanks to Yeh of Wondrous Vision.
Most people think of a black, white and red color palette when one mentions 'Alice in Wonderland' - but Benjamin and Clarine's made it their own in purple and white. Our couple worked with events company Nupts & Such to create a chic and semi-casual ambience for a lively and intimate tea party in the reception area. What a fun and different idea!
Pompom-shaped purple alium provided some fun and whimsy to the ambience, while purple dendrobium, blue hydrangea, white roses and baby's breath provided added texture and layers to the mix. We love how simple the tables were done up with just a couple of bound books, antique clocks and a flowery table linen, and yet looked so effortless chic. The white Chiavari chairs by event designer La Flaire was just the right touch for this little tea party.
Our couple had a little corner for their junior guests to hang out at and have their own little tea party! Party hats, feather boas, giant playing cards...the little men and little ladies were well entertained until the adults were ready to sit down for dinner.
Inside the ballroom, it looked like a whole new world (like Pandora!). Benjamin and Clarine wanted an 'Avatar'-themed evening of celebration, not unlike Henry and Joveyn's, who also used the movie 'Avatar' for inspiration. However, for Benjamin and Clarine, theirs would be a little less jungle/sci-fi and a little more city.
What a vision!! We love our couple's elegant interpretation for their theme - all-white furniture and linens with centerpieces to take away one's breath. For the bridal party's table (above) we used a natural branch that featured two smaller branches becoming one - this was a special request from Benjamin and Clarine, which we thought was especially symbolic. Guest tables around the perimeter of the banquet room featured a single branch. All were decorated with white dendrobium, white eustoma, white roses, and blue and white hydrangea.
As you can see from the pictures, the decor was kept at a minimum with simple white drapes, linens and Chiavari chairs from La Flaire. At the same time, the simplicity of the set-up just worked. Don't be afraid to choose an all-white decor because it may not look stunning enough for your wedding photography, or feel like you need to use lots of accessories or ornaments to make the decor look less bare. With the right lighting, linens and flowers, let your personal style shine through for a completely memorable party!
